This Woman…

…or whatever it is, will come to symbolize the feelings of millions of Americans if Trump can pull off the import tariffs he proposes. The $400 TV we just bought will be $600. China, Japan and Mexico will have extreme unemployment numbers. Desperate people do desperate things. But governments have a legal monopoly on force and will use it to deal with the unhappy natives. This will make the war on drugs look like Disneyland.

But then maybe this will be a case of the bride reforming a dipweed groom after the marriage. So far Trump is the only candidate who is solely committed to himself and America. Can’t leave the self out.

Whether they move it here and pay higher wages or leave it there and pay the tariff it still costs consumers more. If the welfare state was eliminated, well OK. The government should be alright with funding only from tariffs, as stated in the Constitution. Without the welfare state wages would be set by the market. and all would be well. However there might be some whining and riot when unskilled workers can no longer live like kings and scientists.
